Consider the following scenarios involving linear algebra:
  1. For a \(3 \times 3\) matrix, if some vector p has a unique solution, can there exist another vector q with an infinite solution?
  2. For a \(3 \times 3\) matrix, if some vector p has a unique solution, can there exist another vector q with no solution?
  3. For a \(3 \times 2\) matrix, if some vector p has a unique solution, can there exist another vector q with an infinite solution?
        
  4. For a \(2 \times 3\) matrix, if some vector p has a unique solution, can there exist another vector q with an infinite solution?

A) if Ax=b has unique solution then the columns of A are Linearly Independent. If columns are linearly independent then there is unique linear combination to give q. so this option is false.

B) From A option we concluded that the columns are Linearly Independent, 3 LI vectors in R3 can fill it entirely, therefore solution always exist. so this option is false.

C)since the solution of ax=b is unique we have 2LI vectors in R3. It means we will either have unique solution or no solution. so this option is false.

D)we have 2 X 3 matrix, means we have 3 vectors in R2, which means they are Linearly Dependent. Hence, we cannot have a unique solution.(option is itself wrong)
